| Topic | my 5 best and worst picks in contest history |
| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 3:21:28 PM #295: | #7 Painful Pick - Missingno > Tidus (2013) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5211-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-1-missingno-vs-tidus-vs Okay, I didn't actually pick Tidus here, but it was mostly because I didn't want him in round 2 with Squall! I did think he had a chance though, and it was mostly how this thing ended that hurt! Anyway, by the time 2013 rolled around, I thought joke characters had for the most part run their course, and they were never as good the second time as they were the first time. We had already seen it with L-Block and Weighted Companion Cube. Missingno had scored one of the biggest upsets ever by beating Crono in the first round, but I expected a precipitous drop. There was no way he was beating Squall, for sure. Anyway, Missingno jumped out to a decent lead overnight, but Tidus slowly started chipping away at it and took the lead with a few hours to go. He didn't manage to build a lead past 100 votes, but he was keeping Missingno at bay until the last 30 minutes, when the Pokemon "clutch" kicked in with some suspicious spikes (n_n). By the time the match wrapped up, Missingno had edged Tidus out, while we all waited for some word from Allen about possible cheating. Eventually, he did make a topic, revealing that Tidus had cheated at twice the rate of Missingno! That really only meant that Missingno cheaters were better at covering their tracks, but still, now Tidus was not only labeled a choker but a bad cheater! Seriously, Tidus has had some of the worst contest luck ever. He's been in every Character Battle and has never made it to the third round. Meanwhile, Jecht shows up one time in 2010, makes it to round 3 with an easy draw, and laughs as he disappears from contest lore shouting that he's the best. Life imitating art, man. --- ...
